A Legacy Rooted in History

Sri Lanka, once known as Serendib and later as Ceylon, has been famous for its gemstones for over 2,500 years. Among all its treasures, the Ceylon sapphire stands apart—celebrated for its vivid blue hues, exceptional clarity, and unmatched brilliance.

Ancient chronicles mention these sapphires being gifted to royalty and traded along historic maritime routes, making them a symbol of prestige and prosperity.

 

Why They’re So Special
